Democratic candidates for governor embrace the high-speed rail boondoggle

Some boondoggles are just too good to quit, apparently.

On Tuesday’s gubernatorial debate hosted by Fox 11 and KTVU FOX 2, the candidates in attendance were asked their rapid fire thoughts on the high-speed rail project. Helpfully, they were given the options, “Complete it,” “Shrink it” or “End it.”

Half of the candidates didn’t understand the concept of a rapid fire question. In any case, all of the Democrats who attended were on board with continuing to set money on fire to keep the project going.
